Tenant's paint overspray on garage floor, advice on actions

[Joe G.]

I need advice from the experienced property managers or landlords out there.

The floor of a two car garage from a recently vacated home has a good bit of black spray paint overspray on the floor. Power washing and some type of acid wash plus power washing did not remove the black coloration from the otherwise standard concrete color floor.

I need advice on how you would proceed; leave the floor as is since it is a garage and do not charge the tenant any more or have the garage floor painted and further deduct from the tenant? Or some other option.

The tenant has departed the home on good terms and there are no other issues with the home or property. Thank you in advance for the help.

Products to try Goof off( I think goof off 2 is water based). I used to paint horse fences with a trailer mounted sprayer. My white pickup had a beutiful coating of black oil based paint overspray from one end to the other....I used like 10 bottles of the stuff but the paint came off just fine and didn't hurt my truck paint.

I would also try the talk to him and give him an opportunity to remedy the situation tact first.
